Human language appears to be a unique phenomenon, without significant analogue in the animal world.
Noam ChomskyWe are tired of aristocratic explanations in Harvard words.
Dwight D. EisenhowerWhen a person starts to talk about their dreams, it’s as if something bubbles up from within. Their eyes brighten, their face glows, and you can feel the excitement in their words.
John C. MaxwellFlying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.
Amelia EarhartIf you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
Nelson MandelaProbably because I’m from a middle class family, I have that nature in me that I don’t get too excited with big things.
Virat KohliDreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.
Marilyn MonroeI grew up cursing a lot.
Adam SandlerMoney has a language of its own.
Robert KiyosakiOne great use of words is to hide our thoughts.
VoltaireWhen I’m inspired, I get excited because I can’t wait to see what I’ll come up with next.
Dolly PartonOh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God.
John MuirI saw MotoGP on TV first, before I saw F1 and other types of car racing. It’s what I got more into. It was cool, there was good, exciting racing.
Lando NorrisThe way I talk is bizarre.
Karl LagerfeldIn making a speech one must study three points: first, the means of producing persuasion; second, the language; third the proper arrangement of the various parts of the speech.
AristotleMind you, the Elizabethans had so many words for the female genitals that it is quite hard to speak a sentence of modern English without inadvertently mentioning at least three of them.
Terry PratchettLanguage is an intrinsic part of who we are and what has, for good or evil, happened to us.
Alice WalkerYou can be a little ungrammatical if you come from the right part of the country.
Robert FrostCoffee is a language in itself.
Jackie ChanFinality is not the language of politics.
Benjamin DisraeliI would say that jazz is my own language.
Amy WinehouseSuit the action to the word, the word to the action.
William Shakespeare‚Recreative‘ is a word that I invented because in urban culture, with colloquialism, we invent so many slangs. I don’t like the way that ‚recreational‘ sounds – I don’t like to say I do a lot of ‚recreational‘ reading. I like to say that I read ‚recreatively.‘ I do a lot of ‚recreative‘ reading.
Kevin GatesIf an idea isn’t exciting, you shouldn’t do it.
Ray BradburyWithout words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.
Hermann HesseWe have language and they do not. Chimps communicate by embracing, patting, looking – all these things. And they have lots of sounds. But they cannot sit and discuss. They cannot teach about things that are not present, as far as we know.
Jane GoodallIt’s not about charisma and personality, it’s about results and products and those very bedrock things that are why people at Apple and outside of Apple are getting more excited about the company and what Apple stands for and what its potential is to contribute to the industry.
Steve JobsI try to speak in a way that people can understand.
John KennedyBroadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all.
Winston ChurchillY’all are so cute and y’all talk so proper over here. I love England.
Beyonce KnowlesI used to be a great fan of doing crosswords. When you’re fiddling around with anagrams, you get wonderful jumbles of syllables that become interesting.
Douglas AdamsThe language of all the interpretations, the translations, of the Judaic Bible and the Christian Bible, is musical, just wonderful. I read the Bible to myself; I’ll take any translation, any edition, and read it aloud, just to hear the language, hear the rhythm, and remind myself how beautiful English is.
Maya AngelouBut behavior in the human being is sometimes a defense, a way of concealing motives and thoughts, as language can be a way of hiding your thoughts and preventing communication.
Abraham MaslowI’m never nervous.
BonoIt’s very fun to be the hunter of the sounds. The hunter of the right energy. And it’s not really about if every sound is correct; it’s more the energy – if it hits you in some way, it doesn’t really matter to me if it’s not perfect. I’m still very excited while hunting for songs.
AuroraWhen you’re young, you’re not afraid of what comes next. You’re excited by it.
Dave GrohlSubstitute ‚damn‘ every time you’re inclined to write ‚very‘; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.
Mark TwainFanatics are picturesque, mankind would rather see gestures than listen to reasons.
Friedrich NietzscheMeditation is not to avoid society; it is to look deep to have the kind of insight you need to take action. To think that it is just to sit down and enjoy the calm and peace, is wrong.
Thich Nhat HanhThe higher a man stands, the more the word vulgar becomes unintelligible to him.
John RuskinEverything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud.
Hermann HesseBe not a slave of words.
Thomas CarlyleOf course, there are those critics – New York critics as a rule – who say, ‚Well, Maya Angelou has a new book out and of course it’s good but then she’s a natural writer.‘ Those are the ones I want to grab by the throat and wrestle to the floor because it takes me forever to get it to sing. I work at the language.
Maya AngelouMany parents and teachers have become irritated to the point of distraction at the way the weed-style growth of ‚like‘ has spread through the idiom of the young. And it’s true that in some cases the term has become simultaneously a crutch and a tic, driving out the rest of the vocabulary as candy expels vegetables.
Christopher HitchensI’m really looking forward to seeing what life brings to me.
RihannaI remember when my mother, Shyamala Harris, bought our first home. I was thirteen. She was so proud, and my sister and I were so excited. Millions of Americans know that feeling of walking through the front door of their own home for the first time – the feeling of reaching for opportunity and finding it.
Kamala HarrisI feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new-one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare.
Dwight D. EisenhowerI feel that when you care about your music, taking risks is something you should do to keep things exciting.
DrakeIf a child from an Amazonian hunter-gatherer tribe comes to Boston, is raised in Boston, that child will be indistinguishable in language capacities from my children growing up here, and vice versa.
Noam ChomskyI cook, I create, I’m incredibly excited by what I do, I’ve still got a lot to achieve.
Gordon RamsayObscenity comes from grime.
Christopher HitchensMarch is a month without mercy for rabid basketball fans. There is no such thing as a ‚gentleman gambler‘ when the Big Dance rolls around. All sheep will be fleeced, all fools will be punished severely… There are no Rules when the deal goes down in the final weeks of March. Even your good friends will turn into monsters.
Hunter S. ThompsonDance music is no longer a simple Donna Summer beat. It’s become a whole language that I find fascinating and exciting. Eventually, it will lose the dance tag and join the fore of rock.
David BowieWords are but the signs of ideas.
Samuel JohnsonMusic fills in for words a lot of the time when people don’t know what to say, and I think music can be more eloquent than words.
BonoWhen exploring London, you will come across lots of excitement by chance, so try to take everything in rather than just rushing around to all of the major tourist haunts.
Richard BransonUse what language you will, you can never say anything but what you are.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe chief virtue that language can have is clearness, and nothing detracts from it so much as the use of unfamiliar words.
HippocratesThe great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.
George OrwellGolf without bunkers and hazards would be tame and monotonous. So would life.
